The only way to catch Friday night's game between the Minnesota Twins and St. Louis Cardinals on television is via Apple TV+. The streaming service has exclusive rights to the game, which means Bally Sports North won't be televising the action.

If you don't have a subscription to Apple TV+, you can sign up for a free 7-day trial. Then it's up to you to keep the subscription for $9.99/month or cancel the free trial before you get charged.

The game starts at 7:10 p.m. CT and will feature a pitching matchup of rookie right-hander David Festa for the Twins against Cardinals 25-year-old righty Andre Pallante.

Festa has been a revelation for the Twins of late, allowing just six runs in his past five appearances. In those games, which include four starts and a relief appearance, Festa has a 2.38 ERA while striking out 12.3 batters per nine innings.

Minnesota is in a tight battle with Cleveland and Kansas City in the AL Central, as the Guardians enter player Friday with a two-game lead over the Twins and Royals, who have identical records at 71-56.
